"You're beautiful."
She rolled her eyes. "Flattery will get you laid."
"I sure hope so.”

“God loves us, after all; He manifests it in cancer, cholera, Siamese twins. Not all forms of love are comprehensible, and some forms of love destroy what they touch”
― Hilary Mantel, quote from Fludd
“El poder de la autenticidad El regalo más importante que podemos hacernos a nosotros mismos es el compromiso de vivir nuestra auténtica vida. Ser sinceros con nosotros mismos, no obstante, no es una tarea fácil. Debemos romper con aquello con lo que la sociedad intenta seducirnos y vivir la vida según nuestros principios, con nuestros propios valores y en consonancia con nuestros sueños primigenios. Debemos despertar a ese yo oculto; explorar los anhelos más profundos, más invisibles, las habilidades y debilidades que nos hacen ser quienes somos. Debemos entender dónde hemos estado y adónde vamos. Cada decisión que tomemos, cada paso que demos, debe estar investido de ese compromiso de vivir la vida siendo sinceros y coherentes con nuestro yo auténtico y solo con ese yo. Y, a medida que avancemos, tendremos la certeza de experimentar una fortuna que irá más allá de cualquier riqueza jamás imaginada.”
― Robin S. Sharma, quote from The Secret Letters of the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
“When Lars first held her, his heart melted over her like butter on warm bread, and he would never get it back. When mother and baby were asleep in the hospital room, he went out to the parking lot, sat in his Dodge Omni, and cried like a man who had never wanted anything in his life until now.”
― J. Ryan Stradal, quote from Kitchens of the Great Midwest
BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
